Curated, not stocked.
Nordic Naturals has earned consistent trust in clinical circles for their approach to omega-3 quality, particularly around oxidation control — rancid fish oil is a real and common problem in this category. We recommend Ultimate Omega Junior for children with low oily-fish intake, and for parents who want a paediatric-specific EPA and DHA supplement from a brand our doctors are comfortable putting their name to.
About this product
Ultimate Omega Junior
Ultimate Omega Junior by Nordic Naturals is a chewable omega-3 supplement formulated for children, providing EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in softgel form. These two long-chain fatty acids are the most clinically studied omega-3s in paediatric nutrition. DHA in particular is a structural component of the brain and retina, and adequate intake during childhood is associated with normal cognitive development and visual function. EPA is studied for its role in supporting a balanced inflammatory response.
This supplement suits children who eat little to no oily fish — a common gap in British children's diets. It also fits families looking for a more consistent, measured source of omega-3s than diet alone tends to provide. The chewable softgel format is practical for children who struggle with capsules or liquid oils, and Nordic Naturals is a brand with a longstanding clinical reputation in the omega-3 category, recognised for attention to purity and oxidation standards across their range.
For parents navigating the crowded children's supplement market, the combination of a well-regarded brand, a paediatric-specific format, and the two omega-3 forms with the strongest evidence base makes this a sensible, no-guesswork choice. As with any supplement for children, it works best alongside a varied diet rather than as a substitute for one.

How to use
Chew 2 softgels daily. These can be taken with a meal to aid absorption, as omega-3 fatty acids are better absorbed alongside dietary fat. Follow the dosage on the packaging and consult a healthcare professional if your child has any existing health conditions.

Common questions
Frequently asked
At what age is this supplement appropriate?
Ultimate Omega Junior is formulated for children, but check the packaging for the specific recommended age range. If you are unsure whether it is suitable for your child's age or weight, speak with your GP or paediatrician before starting.
Why do children need EPA and DHA specifically?
EPA and DHA are long-chain omega-3 fatty acids that the body does not efficiently produce on its own. DHA is a structural component of the brain and retina, and is particularly important during periods of growth and development. EPA is studied for supporting a balanced inflammatory response.
Can my child take this if they have a fish allergy?
Omega-3 softgels are typically derived from fish oil, which means they are not appropriate for children with a confirmed fish allergy. Check the allergen information on the packaging and consult your child's doctor or allergist if you have any concerns.
How long before we might notice a difference?
Omega-3 supplementation generally takes several weeks of consistent use to build up in the body. Subtle effects on focus or mood are not always easy to observe directly — the primary value here is ensuring adequate intake over time rather than producing a noticeable short-term effect.
Does it need to be refrigerated?
Storage requirements vary by product. Check the packaging for specific guidance. As a general rule, omega-3 supplements benefit from being kept away from heat and direct light to minimise oxidation.
